Barbara Dybala. I am one of twenty artist chosen to exhibit at the State Fair. My mosaic this year’s is a 5 ft yellow swallow tail mosaic butterfly. It is on exhibition across from the aquarium. The butterfly is build from a steel plate with wedi board as a substrate between the smalti glass and steel. FYI, there is a very nice ladies room next to my butterfly!
So, please, take and send a photo of yourself with the butterfly! I will post it on Facebook, and send it to the garden club for posting.
